There seems to We a great deal of interest just .now in Wroomcorn. Col Newman receives letters daily, asking for directions for planting, harvesting and curing the crop. This correspondent asked Col Newman if brooiucorn is an important crop, to which he replied i 'It furnishes the world with I brooms.'' If tho supoly of brooms is increased, the world will be cleaner and brighter and the people happier and healthier. Here are the leading points as to Oroomcorn raising, as given by Col Newman. The plant is a non-saccharine sorghum. Th* preparation, planting and cultivation are in general, the same as that necessary for raising sorghum for j syrup On thoroughly prepared land, plant from two to tivequafts per acre. In Ohio and New York one bushel of seed will plant about fifteen acres, but here a bushel will plant twelve acres. The cultivation is easy. The land should be well fertilized, and the seed put in rather shallow. The cultivation is like that for corn or sorghum. It should ha kept clean, and should have shal low cultirat'on after each rain in order to keep a good soil mulch, j The main point* are the harvesting, and curing. Ah with tobacco, the price depend* chiefly on these two operations. To secure the best brush with the greatest elasticity and the proper green color, the brush should be harvested just as the seed are passing from the milk to the dough stage. The old method of "lienching" by bending two rows diagonally across each other, the one thua supporting the other, is no longer used, because it gave a red brittle brush instead of the green. Eight iuches of stalk cut with the brush is the standard. | ! \11 iro atullr inpp?o??< > > w W WM * luvt vtinv HIV TTCI^Ill J but more thun proportionately reduces the price. The market demands a green brush, which is secured by curing in the shade. For .this purpose, j sheds with movable slatted trays are necessary. Bulking in curing, injures both the strength and the color of the brush. There are various simple de , ices for stripping the seed. When the crop is grown on a large scale, a machine like the auiall grain thresher with the up* , per concave left out is used. When cured and stripped of seeds the brushes are put up in a way very similar to that in which cot- , ton is baled, the package* con - , taining COO pounds. An acre oroD^rlv fertilized and will yield 600 to 800 pounds of j clean brush. Southern growers have the ad- ! vantage of getting the crop in on a comparatively bare market, where the old stock ia nearly exhausted and before the northern crop can be gotten on the market. The proper plan for the southern growers is for the farmers in a section to establish a bcpom factory, employing an expert superintendent, and pledge themselves to produce enough to keep tho factory runniag throughout the year. In this way thsy will receive the profits from the finished product instead of selling for the price of tho raw material, Those embarking in this mj dustry should thoroughly inform themselves as to the bent methods of harvesting, curing and marketing, and provide necessary sheds and frames for securing a first class product. The letters Col. Newman receives indicate that very few have much information as to the requisites for success. Some good publication on the subject is necessary to get the details for bardling the crop. . I I I MORGAN J3 THE WINNER. Ho A'ill l?e Returned to the lT. S. j Semite.
